Developing our piece and surrealism

This week we started to develop our Artaud piece. We started by using nightmares that we had each experienced and then transferring them into a piece of theatre. 

 The four nightmares we had were: 

  1. Emma's - She is in a plane with her family when the plane drops and all the windows freeze and the plane crashes into the sea, then she swims to an island where her mother can't remember who she is. 
  2. Meera's - she is in a long narrow corridor with an endless amount of doors, she senses there is someone chasing her but is not quite sure who it is and then she falls down a black hole and then wakes up. 
  3. Chloe's - she is with her friends watching a football match then ends up near a swimming pool where everything goes black and then she only sees the colour red of ambulances and paramedics. Then it goes silent and bodies are carted out of a house. 
  4. Mine - Having a flying lesson at night, you can see the lights of the city. Suddenly the plane fails and all the city lights go out, then you see flashes of light and the ground gets ever closer. Then wake up. 
Below are our ideas and initial brainstorms for our piece: 





Surrealism: 
We were each given a piece of surrealist artwork and told to depict what we thought it meant, the term used was "initial brain farts". This means just write anything that comes into your mind when you see this image. 

This is the image that i was given, my initial thoughts were: 
  • Imbalance 
  • Stress
  • Socialized Self 
  • No emotions 
  • Family life being overpowering 
  • Fantasies 
  • Things becoming to too much to handle 
  • Things piling up on top of you 
  • Above Reality 
  • City life 
  • Misery 
  • Raising a child 
In class we decided that this image was designed to represent the struggles associated with city life. And how raising a child can almost be too much to handle. 


ACID TEST: 

Apologies for this image being the wrong way round (you will have to thank apple for that).
